Description

The Existential Pleasures of Engineering by Samuel C. Florman is a thought-provoking exploration of how engineers think and feel about their profession. This second edition of Florman's popular book corrects the common misconception that engineering is cold and passionless, revealing instead a deeply human and rewarding pursuit. Florman celebrates the spiritual and sensual rewards of engineering, viewing it as a response to our deepest impulses and an endeavor rich in creative potential. With a practical and humorous approach, he offers a philosophy of engineering that boasts pride in its craft and challenges the "anti-technology" stance. This book provides a unique insight into the world of engineering, revealing the human side of this often-misunderstood profession.
